• Abstract:
  The Aviation/Aerospace Teacher Education Workshops have been recommended by the Illinois Task force for Aviation/Space Education (1988) as a way of encouraging aeronautical education. The workshop will be offered to elementary school teachers. During the course of the workshop, the teachers will become familiar with aviation fundamentals and issues, and with ways to incorporate aviation topics into their normal curricula to enhance education. The proposal is organized in two parts. Part I deals with issues of program development. These issues include program intent, benefit to the sponsoring institution, program model, credibility, cosponsorship and potential problems. Part II deals with problems specifically related to program implementation. Aviation/Aerospace Teacher Education Workshops have the potential to be ; a first-rate program. The good feelings created by the workshops in the elementary education community will hopefully translate into positive action in support of aviation. References, 11p.
